Distant...?

[ My child, stay away from that danger.]

A warning from above has woken Max from his peaceful sleep. He looked up at the clock above the fireplace and realized that he was late for class, and a new day dawned. He stood up and looked up to the ceiling where the chandelier of gold and lit candles shine along with his innocent eyes, not only was the chandelier reflected on his eyes, the darkness that resides their home too, they were smiling at him, mocking him, looking down at him, pointing at him. Even so, he smiled brightly at them and all that dwells within has been casted off, exorcised. He walked towards his room, planning on facing off the existence that was called a "danger" to him.

♪ I closed my ears and I still hear them shouting,♪

♪ I closed my eyes and I still see them mocking ♪

♪ I tried to stop them and heal them all ♪

♪ For I don't want to see them fall ♪

♪ I don't want to see them hurting ♪

♪ please... my Goddess, stop their suffering ♪

Her voice echoed through his veins, hearing the songs he wrote being sang by a total stranger gave him shivers to every part of his whole existence. It gives a very bad feeling, like seeing something for what they really are, then suddenly witnessing them act like the opposite, an inhuman acting like a human. Her voice was perfect, too perfect to be true, like a siren luring in her preys.

Max walked into his room where she's in and covered her with a giant piece of cloth that lay in his drawer for as long as he can remember.

" Gosh, that's too dusty for me." She complained with a sigh, taking it off as she let Max see her naked body. She was seducing him, intending to play with him. " Your face doesn't look so bad." She said and made a circle out of her thumb and point finger, she then place it over her lips and stick out her tongue. Max only blinked twice for a response to her provocation, and that made her feel offended. " OMG, are you even a man? How can you not have an erection?!" She commented. Max was taken aback by her bluntness. And as Max process, he was pushed down to his bed.

" Lust...." Max mumbled from seeing a giant being that lives inside her, 'she was possessed' he thought as he push her down to his bed, he looked at her expression nonchalantly, he's looking at her somewhere distant, but it only made her flushed, her eyes looked at Max with complete lust, from just his gaze, she got herself wet. Max was suffering from her, the giant being that possesses her took form and holds him by the neck, visible bruises can already be seen, he can't escape as the grip gets tighter.

( YuMmy!!! YUmMy~!!!)

(EaT HiM!! EAt HiiiM!!!)

The giant being cheered at the face of an addicting scent Max emits, every sniff was ecstatic. Without notice from the girl and the ugly being, Max has already tied her up to his bed. Max left her there with her cursed being bound to her. Minutes passed and he finally came back with his hair dripping small drops of water, he just finished bathing, coincidentally, Augustine peeked at Max's room, trying to look for him, he saw the scene which his son just bathed and a naked girl tied up to his son's bed was dripping wet.

" I see," Augustine nodded twice with his right hand under his chin.

Max, who saw through his father's thoughts went pale, he waved his hands to say "No." and changed the topic, " Why did you kill them?" He asked with droppy shoulders, expressing his sadness.

Talking about the new vengeful spirits attached to him yesterday.

" Would you rather me getting killed then?"

Max's eyes slightly widened, he looked down and shook his head. He somehow felt threatened, on the other hand, his reaction put a smile on Augustine's face, because for a first, he can understand his son. With his eyes locked on the ground, the side of his vision caught glimpse of his father's feet making its way to his room.

" Hold on, one more step and-" Max flinched, a string that connects his existence to the house he's been calling home was severed. It was too late, he was already disowned. Max looked at his father, Augustine was taken aback, he stepped backwards but it cannot be reversed. Max's feet was slowly fading away. " This is why I told you- " Max sighed deeply as he crouch on the ground. As Max's body slowly fade he said, " When sis came back from school, tell her I'm just playing tag with her, join her too if you'd like, but once we meet, I might disappear again, don't worry, I'm not against it nor am I going hate it. I..... Still want to see you guys..." Max was smiling like a child who's ready to play with his family, causing Augustine to get more stunned until he lose balance and fell backwards, watching as Max fade away with a smile, unable to move. Soon after, the room that used to have a warm atmosphere turned cold, thousands of evil beings occupied it in hope to eat the existence that used to reside there. Augustine felt the chills running down his veins, he stiffened. As he process everything, he saw the girls on the bed whispering him "help,". He didn't think twice to drag her outside, he was sure that something was especial about her except for the fact that she's their continent's only princess. He was stunned as gusts of cold winds pushed them out, then after a moment, nothing was left in the room, not a single thing was left, his son was gone. And he saw it happened. He was the sause it happened. Frozen in place, tears fell down to his cheeks while his head was blank and heavy. Not knowing whether his son might still be alive or be gone and reduced to nothing.
